Volk Centercaps.. (finally)

IMO- The gold is tacky as hell especially on my car. It was either the Black/Gold combo or plain silver for Gram Lights. I'm going the paint it black +clear coat. What do yall think?

I agree with the others who said to put them and take some pics so we can see how they look.

If it was me, I wouldn't spray paint them though because those are probably some expensive centercaps right? I spray painted the centercaps on my stock 15" SE wheels, but they are the stock centercaps on stock wheels. I spray painted them silver to cover up the "gold plating" that was there. So, the paint isn't as noticeable.

The Sexy rusty center caps seem pretty good. But that is only if the driver is sexy so that way the driver can draw away the attention from the rusty center caps

or..... yeah you could just leave them alone but better yet try to paint them to match even more better.

Same time you got your BOLKS.

Ohh and just because you have real VOLK center caps it doesn't make your rims volks.

Re: Volk Centercaps.. (finally)

Photoshop em on or temporarily color them with colored tape or something like that. Emboss it so you see the logo and step way back and see what color looks best.

IMHO, the plain silver would have been a better choice.

My gut is to paint them but I'd probably put them on first to make sure that they didn't look better as-is than I thought. But since I am always right, I'd then just be annoyed w/myself for wasting time and not just painting them in the first place.

I think they look good.

I am not a big fan of the Rays blue valve stems though. I had them replaced on mine with standard black ones. They blend in better IMHO.

Hmmmm ... on second thought, they don't look that bad.

I'll have to see them in person though to make a final call.
